It's only rock'n'roll and I hate it

The '90s reversed the development of live music and to some extent the damage was irreparable. The idea was that all you needed for a live show was a couple of Marshall stacks, a pair of jeans and a checkered shirt. I simply cannot understand people who pay 20 quid for a Pearl Jam DVD.

Here are my favourite antidotes to this disease:

12 Years of Tears, Marc Almond


The Royal Albert Hall, a lot of costume changes, dancers, and a grand piano. So Pearly don't you shed more tears.

Cubism, Pet Shop Boys


Auditorio Nacional, Mexico City. Grand but entertaining.

Kraftwerk


Their website is an inexhaustible source of joy.
